The round trip took 3 hours, how many miles is it from Point A to Point B?\" I just need an equation to solve. I have already attempted this question multiple times using different strategies and have come to the conclusion that the given information is insufficient. \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #459151 by josgarithmetic(39620)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The question is, how many miles from A to B? \n" ); document.write( "Assume the distance although unknown, is d.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "DIRECTION____________rate____________time______________distance \n" ); document.write( "A to B_______________8_______________(___)_____________d \n" ); document.write( "B to A_______________4_______________(___)_____________d \n" ); document.write( "TOTAL________________________________3_________________2d\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The unfilled information in the chart should be determined or found expressible enough to fillin the entry in the chart. (The time information).\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "DIRECTION____________rate____________time______________distance \n" ); document.write( "A to B_______________8_______________(d/8)_____________d \n" ); document.write( "B to A_______________4_______________(d/4)_____________d \n" ); document.write( "TOTAL________________________________3_________________2d\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "YOU SEE a summation of terms for time equaling the total time of 3 hours. THAT gives you a useful equation in order to solve for d. \n" ); document.write( " |
